Brilliant for year 5/6/7/8 girls - a different trilogy to the style of Jacqueline Wilson's family or teen dramas - this one historical fiction and very well done.

This book was hard for me to read at first, but once I read along with the audio book, I just could not put it down.
Sapphire is the new life of Hetty, the same person, just with a different name. She travels to her business with Mr Buchanan, the hateful 'monkey-man', and sets off for walks each
